Tension & trauma releasing exercises

Releasing Stress & Tension to Optimise Your Mental and Physical Wellbeing.

We all benefit from feeling more relaxed, calmer mind, better sleep, healthier body, happier relationships, and a stronger sense of purpose are just some of the rewards. For many, this also means faster recovery and better performance at work, in sports, during creative projects, or when caring for loved ones.

TRE® (Tension and Trauma Release Exercises) is a simple, innovative series of movements that help your body release deep muscular patterns of stress, tension, and trauma. Created by Dr. David Berceli, TRE safely triggers a natural reflex of shaking or vibrating that calms the nervous system and restores balance, no need for mental effort or talking about the past.

You’ve probably experienced this reflex before: hands trembling during public speaking, shivers after a shock, children vibrating with excitement, or shaking after yoga or exercise. It’s not a sign of weakness or anxiety, it’s your body’s built-in way of letting go of tension and returning to calm.

With TRE, you learn how to activate this recovery response intentionally, anywhere and anytime, to reduce stress and anxiety, improve recovery and performance, and enhance other treatments and self-care practices. Even animals do it naturally, and so can you.
